I wonder why Better Man got crossed off???????????

To piss off all those hit lovers in the crowd.

I think you could be right . But why do they cross songs off, was it to make room for oceans?

I would have loved to hear supersonic but I could not care less as the show was amazing. But we got to hear other great songs like oceans,present tense, Red Mosquito, spin the black circle, and basically everything else that was played.

Did anyone get one of the footballs they kicked into the crowd at the end? were they signed?

just read comments from fans at Sydney show,poor Ed wasnt well at all.....shorter set list than Melbourne he didnt have the same energy either,so for us who were at the Melbourne show we got the BEST,cant top our night!!!Still blown away by the experience and gratefull our setlist was massive,thanks PJ for giving us all!!!

Eraserhead

2nd show of 4 for me down-under. What a venue! I don't think I've been to a bigger stadium than this before! Was really glad it was over-cast, as the heat can be oppresive. The stadium roof closed worked so well for Ben Harper's mid-set dueting (....scream my lungs out so I can fill this roooooooommmmm.....!)

As much as I would have loved to see the stars... I think the sound would be better with the roof on?
Who decides on roof on/off?
Not sure.... saw Chili Peppers there a few years back and roof was on then too.

the stadium deciedes roof open or cloosed as they closed it the night before the PJ gig

The weather decided the roof issue.

With electrical storms around Melbourne to roof was always going to be closed.

Green Day played there with an open roof and the sound was fine...

The AFL balls kicked were signed..! It landed 3 meters away from me.. bad luck..
Maybe more luck tonight in Brissy! What a gig though!
Does anybody agree on a special ten club area to keep drunk tossers out of the front?
I mean.. early entry is cool but.... ;-)

either way we would still have trouble with the drunk tossers, i loved early entry and on stones side there where only three people that got past me and one guy being tosser. Everyone else was great, friendly and I had a blast.

dont know why but felt i wanted to share this,after an awsome night Friday i got the blues real bad,missing Ed and the boys was one thing but my reality hit home hard.last tour i took my little sis to see PJ (her first time) it was the best night of our lives,but sadly she was ill with depression and passed away only 5months later so this time i had to go without her here,i had mixed emotions about it but knew she would be there in spirit rockin with me!How i wish i could tell her how awsome it was,they played a song Friday night that blew me away was even in the setlist "Brother" .......the song as it goes also says "hey little sister,you and me can rise above" well that song was for us both!!!Thanks so much for the memories Ed and boys,if only you knew how special that night in 2006 was for me

That's a lovely little tribute. I'm sorry your Sister couldn't be there with you but I'm happy for you that you could take a positive out of the show in Melbourne!!

Absolutely the best gig I've been to, just the greatest.

Its not often you would rant and rave about a concert when you couldn't see a thing, spent half of it sandwiched between 2 big sweaty men and had to watch the screen for the majority of the time despite being just a few metres from the stage. But that was me in Melbourne and this is STILL one of the best shows I've ever been to.
Now imagine if I actually had a better view :shock:

if you had of been near me I would have let you go infront of me, i was about 4 people directly infront of stone. Which was an awesome spot to watch the show from.

Thanks for sharing, I am sure your little sister was smiling from above listening to "Brother". Pearl Jam have always been bringing that personal touch in their songs and lots of us, PJ fans can relate to them. Let's just hope we won't wait for another 3 years to enjoy PJ live experience.

Aw thanks,it still amazes me that PJ and us fans feel like a big family,being at their show was like a family reunion,i love that!!!it may sound wierd but i got a sign from above that night so i know my sis was with me , it was very emotional hearing certain songs that remind me of her,Black was another moment"i know someday you'll have a beautiful life"......so special.
